US missile shield needs more than bilateral talks, says Germany - by Louis Charbonneau

Amid rising tension surrounding a planned US missile shield in Europe, a top German official urged parties to avoid any bilateral decisions, especially when the decision will have consequences for other European states. Deputy Foreign Minister Gernot Erler said on radio that Chancellor Angela Merkel would make this point during her two-day visit to Poland, which starts today.

“She will argue something very important, that this can’t be done on a bilateral basis when the decisions will have consequences for other European states,” Erler said.
